Cypherpunks Label Robinhood Token a Pump and Dump Scheme
The cypherpunk community has disavowed the Robinhood token, labeling it as part of a 'pump and dump' scheme. This move comes after allegations that Zcash (ZEC) was being manipulated to drive up prices. According to some members of the cypherpunk community, the involvement of Robinhood in the promotion of its own token is seen as a conflict of interest.
The community has expressed concerns that the token's value is artificially inflated, and that it may be used to further the interests of the company behind it rather than the holders. This has led some to label ZEC as 'pump and dump', suggesting that its price is being manipulated for personal gain.
